What are your favorite #Adobe Creative Suite alternatives? I don't want to pay $70 a month anymore if I can help it. Most immediately, I'm looking for #Lightroom and #Photoshop alternatives, although I'll need recommendations for #Illustrator, #Premiere, and #AfterEffects, too.

Dammit, @caseynewton.bsky.social ! You just convinced me to move all my notes over to #Obsidian a few months ago, and today, I find myself moving everything over to @capacities.bsky.social ...

Wow! I got my first write up- and it’s super encouraging! This made my week! midbrow.org/guts/

Come visit me at my studio today and tomorrow for #EastBayOpenStudios! I’ll be there from 11am-5pm both days. If you can’t be there this weekend, it’ll be open next weekend too!

Just signed up to participate in East Bay Open Studios this December. 12/6-7 or 12/13-14. Details coming soon.

Tomorrow! My solo show, "Rare Earth," opens at La Luz de Jesus Gallery! @laluzdejesus.bsky.social This one's called "Alarm Call V," one of a series of absurdist little vignette drawings of birds & rusty old fog horns symbolizing nature's warning signs about climate change #traditionalart #drawing

Weapons was SO GOOD. I have a feeling it’ll be my favorite movie this year.

Working on the next piece. Not totally sure how I feel about it yet- but that’s part of the fun in these: I might go in with a plan, but I the material doesn’t always act like I expect. I have to be open to some improv. #fusedglass #glassart #oaklandartist

And it’s done! #fusedglass #fineart #glassart

It survived! Now just one last pass in the kiln to bring it to its full shine. #fusedglass #glassart #oaklandartists

Update: I’ve repaired it twice now. Last time, it was so close to being finished before I found a hairline crack in it. I’ve fixed it, and polishing it again- hopefully just one more time. Fi gets crossed… #fusedglass #glassart

This one has been a pain in the butt. Broken twice while I was working on it. But I think I’ve not only saved it, but made it better! …Let’s just hope it survives the last round of polishing. #fusedglass #glassart #oaklandartist

Happy Portfolio Day! Here's a sample of my traditional-media work. You can see more on my website: brianrwilliams.com #portfolioday #traditionalart

The final piece that I’ll be selling this summer. This was the first panel I created of the five, and it might be my favorite piece I’ve ever made. It was as an experiment to use up scrap glass left over from the large installation panels. #fineart #glassart #fusedglass #oaklandartist

Got back from the Italy/France trip and sorting through photos. It’s always humbling (and more than a little discouraging) to see how many bad photos i took. But eventually, I find the good ones and suddenly, I feel like a decent photographer again! Editing your work is an underestimated skill.

Of the 5 pieces I’ll be selling this summer, this one most resembles the panels from the full installation. I learned a lot after making 25 of these for the installation, so this one-off is even more refined than the ones in the installation. #fineart #glassart #fusedglass #oaklandartist

I have come to love creating white-on-white pieces. With such a minimal palette, their subtle color shifts and changes in opacity become more apparent. This is the third panel of five which I will be selling in late summer. #glassart #fusedglass #abstract #oaklandartist #glassfusing

Doing a little trip in France this week. Here are some sketches so far… #sketches #travelsketches #traveljournal #markerdrawings

The second Limerent Object I’ll be selling later this summer. In Limerence, yellow triangles represent hope. Making these helped me through some difficult times, and have become a sort of meditative practice. They are my version of prayers for protection & peace. #glassart #fusedglass #oaklandart

The first of 5 pieces I’ll be selling later this summer. These are offshoots of a project called “Limerence”. Its pieces large and meant for an industrial space, but I’ve made smaller works (“Limerent Objects”) to fund the full project and to experiment with new techniques. #glassart #fusedglass

Not gonna lie- I’m excited about this!

Coldworking at the studio- and creating my first IG reel! Follow me at www.instagram.com/gtron3000

Grades are done! School is out! Time to get back into the studio.

Hey friends, @lasmusasbooks.bsky.social Mentorships open February 1st. If you are a Latine illustrator or author looking for mentorship, please apply! It's a great opportunity to work with published Latine authors and illustrators. I'll be mentoring again this year! #kidlitart #kidlit #kidlitchat

Can you take a photo of us?

Not a good way to start off the year. RIP, David Lynch. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Apparently it’s #PortfolioDay. I don’t have a formal portfolio photos for my glass work yet- that’s something I’m working on this month. In the meantime, here’s a sampling of what I’ve been making.

As LA's crisis continues, this empty chair speaks volumes. While trying to keep a small business going, perspective hits: so many have lost everything. Free portraits if you've lost your home. Studio sessions & prints available for others. Together through this 🖤 #LosAngeles #LAarts #SupportLocal

#portfolioday I'm so happy I haven't had to make a real portfolio in a while, but I'm still proud of my old one with the tulip covers.

My account on Pixelfed, if anyone is interested. It’s pretty empty at the moment, but it would be nice to have an Instagram alternative. pixelfed.social/Galgas

As in the early days of the Twitter exodus, I’m sure a few of these emerging networks will come and go. Pixelfed is the latest Instagram alternative.

I’m in the process of packing up my Facebook and Instagram- having already downloaded and deleted over 600 photos off each. It’s tiring to keep jumping between platforms- but it’s *your* content. You should own it and have control over it. This might be a step towards that:

I’ve been continuously updating my latest Substack on the LA Wildfires with reliable resources to help displaced people here in Los Angeles. Some new updates: Animation Guild Local839 list, GoFundMe’s for film workers, and a mega-spreadsheet compiled by a friend of mine. 🙏 #losangeles
